Two bits of 2012 Election Trivia

Overheard election night on Fox News: [About Colorado] "They have a referendum on legalizing Marijuana. That's what's bringing out all the Democrats."

What do Todd Akin, Richard Mourdock, Roger Rivard, Joe Walsh, Tom Smith, and John Koster have in common? They are all ardent pro-life politicians or politician-wannabes who vocally trivialized and demeaned women suffering a pregnancy by rape. They are all Republicans, and they all lost in the recent election. There was one more, Paul Ryan, who managed to hang on to his old job.
